Anya is a Channel

Anya in the zone, articulating some universal truths.

Late on Friday night I noticed a new addition to my short list of followers. There was a little avatar that I hadn’t seen before, and the moment I saw her tiny image there was the very real sense that this was somehow deeply important. I’m serious, this was a unmistakable feeling.

So I clicked on it, and got to her blog, titled: Anya is a Channel. It's loaded with a buncha of you-tube videos, most of them just a close up of her face as she speaks to her computer, and then she smiles, and begins channeling. She has a really funny way of speaking for Them (whoever They are) and she'll furrow her brow, and question things and then laugh. It's obvious there is a lotta banter going on in her head, and it's all intertwined with some amusing word-play.

I stayed up late and watched them all, and some of them twice.

Here I’ll add that I went thru a chapter of my life in the 90’s where I immersed myself in channeled information. I have a book shelf loaded with these books. I feel like I have a pretty good foundation into this fringe material.

The next morning I send Anya an email thru her blog, and within minutes she replies with her phone number - and I immediately dial my phone.

We talk for the next SIX HOURS!

Both of us burn thru multiple phone batteries, and then we’d frantically call each other back on another line.

We’ve each adopted New Your as our home town (even though I now live in Idaho) so it felt normal to talk in rapid fire fervor, jumping from subject to subject. We would unashamedly confront the other about the deepest stuff. Niceties weren’t held back, we really went for it!

She would drift in and out of her own voice, lapsing into channeling. The overlapping got confusing at times, and it evolved into a sort of three way conversation between myself, Anya and Them. I tried to stay totally open, like a sponge (or a vacuum?).

When I would share my strange life experiences, Anya would interrupt and interject from her sources. She (or more accurately, They) explained what was going on beyond my perceptions, and a lot of exacting details were imparted that Anya simply couldn’t have known.

As I write this out, I fully recognize that I just got hit with a big "whammy" and my head is still vibrating like a gong. (like a cartoon character that gets hit over the head with a frying pan, and then vibrates for a few extra beats) I know that I'll need to let the tone settle down a little before I can attempt to calmly organize my thoughts and emotions.

And yes, I know full well not to “believe” all this information without some critical thinking. Channeled is suspect, true enough. But, I was completely open. And how can critical thinking and channeling find a happy meeting place? The logical side of my brain screams that it’s impossible. My heart says the opposite.

Okay, it goes on and on and on. I laughed and cried. She egged me on and chided me. Lot's went down, more than I can write here.

Anya channels Them on my present state: “You are doing great. Good student, A plus, well done, they are patting you on the head, good work, they are happy.”

It ends with a sort of summation, from Them about our intense phone call.

Anya explains: “There is a reason this session was so long, we are awakening you. Your DNA is growing, it’s changing, because of this call. You are being transformed, awakened and stimulated to your real purpose. You are a Star Seed, and this is your time to wake up.”

Now, for her version of events, y'gotta visit Anya's Blog, and read this!________________________________________________________

More?

Okay, this morning email Marla Frees about yesterdays wildly intense phone call, and here is an excerpt from her reply:

“Mike ... make a journal of these amazing things, do not JUDGE this process, do not limit yourself to the unfolding of the greatest parts of yourself, you are becoming the Mike you were supposed to be ... God does not give you what you can't handle ... if it is too much for you then you ask, for them to slow down, but I think you have been getting ready for this, and you must surrender to this, RIDE THE WAVE, SURF IT LIKE THE SKIER YOU ARE ... BE BRILLIANT ON THE ICE CRYSTAL OF THE NEW FREQUENCIES YOU NOW DANCE WITH ... AND ALLOW THE LOVE TO POUR FORTH! Good job my friend ... You are doing GREAT.”

This inspiring quote from Marla matches what Anya told me in her summation, some of it word for word.

OK - so here's another one. I'm seeing a pattern, Mike. Have you heard of the reconnection? Eric Pearl? When Anya - or THEM - talk about your DNA growing - that's what the reconnection is about. Read the book. See what you think. I attended one of his workshop in oct 2001, after reading his book. - Trish

Ok I see where you are going with this. I listened to the vid and read the article. I agree with compassion and love, etc... but it has nothing to do with GOD. God is made up to control us and she doesn't see this yet. We, our thoth process, manifests our own movie and we can make it whatever we want. Most people (sheep) don't bother trying to change their own movie because they think they can't, that's not true. We can do anything thing we want, no sin, no hell, no heaven, and we are the LIGHT.

She is not channelling with GOD, there is no such thing! She is being decieved. There is no such thing as GOD as we know it...just us and our thought forms. She is talking to her entities and those thoughts aren't hers and doesn't even know it.

Read the following carefully please...

The luciferian entity is the fabricated creator god. In creating this illusory 3D reality using subliminal, subconscious messaging, this group entity conjured up and controls all power and energy, and in turn, the reverent respect of their illusory master creation called humanity. This adoration by humanity gives the luciferian group and their chosen elite the riches and servitude of this world and ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF THE ETERNAL PARADISE STATE. Because they, themselves, chose thinking and lying above awareness and wisdom, this 3D illusion is their reality. However, it is a reality fragmented, corrupted and filled with all manner of duality. They see this reality as superior to the reality of wisdom. Wisdom does not exhibit 3D manipulation through shape, colour or sound, so ultimately, wisdom is a reality of peace.

Wisdom knows this. Wisdom is not thinking about how to manipulate affairs so that events work out in its favour. Wisdom performs none of this. Wisdom just knows that we are being manipulated. To stay connected to wisdom through awareness, we need simply to stay in the moment. This involves doing NOTHING. This involves NO PRAYERS, NO MEDITATION, NO MANTRAS, NO RITUALS, NO JOINING,… NO THING. All practices, be they MEDITATIVE or PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES, are exercises in remaining OUT OF THE ONE ETERNAL MOMENT. This is not to say that meditating is bad or wrong, just as physical activity is not bad or wrong. On this site it will be repeated many times, that there is no such thing as good or bad, or right or wrong. However, these exercises avail no benefit in reconnecting to the wisdom state. Only emotional detachment, which is to place NO REAL WORTH or REAL VALUE in anything 3 dimensional, is true reconnection to reality.

There is no such thing as TIME and SPACE, and to enter into activities where you confess, and admit, disconnection from wisdom, simply by entering into that activity whereby you hope to reconnect to wisdom, (or as some call it, ENLIGHTENMENT), then you have not RECONNECTED WITH your original WISDOM STATE.

I think I should add this to to above comments I just posted as part 2...

(Enlightenment is a luciferian term that sounds and seems to speak of reconnection to wisdom, however wisdom and enlightenment have nothing in common).

When you do NO THING, other than being fully aware that the 3 dimensional experience is an illusory deception conjured up through the THOUGHT PROCESS, which is turn was meant to disconnect us from REALITY, then you have reconnected to your original eternal wisdom state. There’s nothing to do, just simply become AWARE of what is transpiring. Perfection and purity is what we are ALREADY. This is wisdom and this is liberty, this is the freedom and the power and strength of what we ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. The illusory 3 dimensional teachings of intellectual and religious thought systems, that instruct us to believe that we are born sinners, and need to repent, to avoid some hell fire, are conjured up lunatic notions straight from the mind of the luciferian egregore group mind.

I find all of this thought provoking without really understanding one whit about what is really going on here.

I have had some interest in so-called 'channelled' information but having no way to evaluate most of this kind of stuff usually feel stuck at a kind of impasse when reading or hearing it.

This is to my mind a kind of no man's land. I dont know what the reality of it is; and often, at least with most of it, there is nothing you can really get your 'teeth' into, that can lead you on to create a sort of bridge from something you 'know'- have to use that word with some reservations too- into this no man's land.

The Seth Material is a good example. Definitely interesting and Jane Robert's Oversoul 7 trilogy was equally interesting but I could never reach any 'conclusion' re this material. I am very stuck on this plane...

Still the latest stuff in quantum theory- see David Deustch's exposition 'The Fabric of Reality'-anyway the latest seems to hint at numberless alternate realities just 'around the corner' and possibilities of communication that are equally difficult to believe.

If the communications received from these 'planes'- like those from Roberts- are to be believed- if they are 'real'- 'aliens' are a small part of the big picture.

I am still following your blog... and I have no idea what to make of what is going on. Is it possible all of this is a 'diversion' from the real path? I dont know. I did look at Anya's site. She has drawn her own conclusions about her experiences. I find myself suspicious of this information. I have no yardstick for most of it... I can neither agree with her... nor can I really disagree.

It seems to be a window into the Vastness but it also reminds me that most of the communications from the dead, and the great beyond, seem a bit too trivial and empty to be quite the real thing.

So what is really going on... I dont know. And these communications seem to add layers that make the answer more confusing than anything else. Only sometimes it seems more profound as well. What is the reality here? I simply dont know.

I am utterly mystified about all of this too. I think I say as much in my text.

I am skeptical and cautious about the channeled material from Anya, but - to me - there it's been truly engaging and VERY interesting. Is it literal truth? I have no idea. It does feel like a sort of kick-in-the-pants for me, and I need that.

Red Pill Junkie, since you don't know anything about channeling other than what you've observed, there are many ways one may channel.

I am what they call a "conscious" or "light trance" channel. I never believed in channeling until it happened to me. Part of the reason I didn't believe in channeling is because I saw one famous channel in robes walking around a stage in an affected British accent speaking what seemed to me to be utter nonsense.

I read the Seth Material a long time ago- 1992 or so, before any of this was happening to me, and it made very little sense. My viewing channels on tv seemed to be outlandish and embarrassing exhibitions to me, quite frankly. To my relief, I found out through doing it that just as there are all kinds of music, there is all kinds of channeling (conscious, light, deep trance).

I would highly recommend watching a free documentary that is on Youtube in its entirety called "Tuning In" to get a primer on some of the more well known channels in the world and how they do what they do and what comes out when they speak.

You may be surprised to find that most of the channels profiled in the film don't change their voice at all, they speak in a normal tone of voice just as I do.

FYI, I happen to love all of the channels featured in the film regardless of whether they speak in their regular voice or not; in my opinion they are all sterling and legitimately connecting to something much bigger than you or I.

The best advice I've ever gotten as I've descended into this nutty realm of paranormal weirdness was to KEEP AN OPEN MIND.

I feel I have a really good working set of insights int channelling after reading channeled material so compulsively for so many years. I can say, from my gut, that I *KNOW* that it's real.

Here's where I get lost. Is it metaphorical truth? Or literal truth? Personally, literal truth is like trying to look at a locomotive train under a microscope. Metaphorical truth is like the rainwater in a forest.

I am an artist. I am NOT a scientist. I trust my gut, even if the pragmatic side of my brain is in revolt.

I am dealing with paranormal experiences, and if I try and scrutinize them with the pragmatic side of my brain, I get stuck and distressed. It hampers me, and it makes me miserable.

Dealing with this stuff from my heart has been so helpful. Whenever I do, I benefit enormously. I've learned to trust my heart (or gut).

Whatever is going on with Anya's channeled information (literal or metaphorical) is resonates deeply at a heart level. I'll add that my logical side is absolutely perplexed.

I can't define or defend my gut feelings on this. All I can say is that they feel real. To dismiss this aspect of the paranormal makes perfect sense logically. But logic is a tool that can only take you so far, and then you stall out in a place of confusion.

When I started this blog, I was terrified to share the really weird stuff - but I found that it didn't serve me, or my goals when I started this blog. I find my heart simply won't let me dismiss the really strange stuff just because it's really strange. Something about it is VERY real. (and entirely beyond logic)

At the recent UFO conference in Joshua Tree I told another attendee that I was doing research. They said, "Oh really? What are you researching?"

"But logic is a tool that can only take you so far, and then you stall out in a place of confusion."

I concede that I agree with that 100%. It's extraordinary how in some discussions I end up as the skeptic, and in some others I take the role of the "mystic" >_<

But, nevertheless, I would still take any channeled information with a a grain of salt. And that for two reasons:

1)Because of the biased psychological filtering the "channeler" might be unconsciously doing on the information received.

2)Because of the unknown intentions of the source to give the information on the first place. Like I wrote on some other blog: if I encountered a man on a street who told me he was the king of Denmark, I would have to show the same amount of skepticism, as to an incorporeal entity who would claim to be Jesus, Lucifer, or Julius Caesar.

Like our parents who told us lies like the tale of Santa claus or the tooth fairy, these entities migh also be deceiving us. The deceit might be for our own benefit, or theirs. This I dare to assert, someone like Mac Tonnies would agree with me —yeah I know, very lame.

Whether we like it or not, we're all children of the west. As such, we cannot forgo of the tools of logic and deduction in our search for knowledge, eventhough we're fully aware of those tools' limitations.

That said, I'm aware that I'm not on the same path as Mike or Anya; perhaps the rules that govern my life do not apply on theirs —see, I'm not as closeminded as you think ;-)

Shoot Mike, if channeling works for you and helps to find answers, then go for it. Personally I've often if not always focused on what's more practical in ufology but I did read up on channeled works. (Have 3 books of Lyssa Royal.) Maybe channeling works for those subjects that by definition are more abstract.

Overall, I agree with riding the wave and surfing it, etc. That's something I've been saying myself for years regarding this thing called "LIFE".

Yet, I MUST take exception to THIS: "God does not give you what you can't handle."

Excuse my harshness, but BULLSHIT. If that were true, no one would EVER commit suicide. There are obviously many people who cannot handle what they are "given." Here we see that weird mentality that seems like high wisdom yet exposes a grim defensive need to cling to infantile notions that comfort.

Even gifted channels often mix their own biases into their messages. That line was NOT from a higher source. I know it like I know I exist, without doubt.

I think I react so negatively to this because there's an ugly, selfish, SMUGNESS about those who tend to utter this type of silly claptrap-- and with it comes this idea that things don't go wrong to the "right" (read: "enlightened") people.

Its dangerous to travel down that road because it leads to a very dark place when life lets you down (as it often does for nearly everyone at one time or another.) And when you get there, you find those people who told you these very things hold zero sympathy for you, but instead tell you that "you must have wanted this on some level or it wouldn't have happened." Please. How convenient a way to dismiss the hardships of others and skip away with neither shame nor sorrow!

Life is not always a wonder filled ride of light and love. Truly mature and wise people know this. Life is first and foremost a struggle- for everyone and everything on this planet. We must appreciate any fortune with deep gratitude and the knowledge that all things are transient.

Along with the already stated sentiments above, the common belief heard ad infinitum ad nauseum is that "WE MAKE OUR OWN REALITY." I have words for anyone who truly believes that-- REALITY makes US as much as we create IT!! WE aren't the total god/dictators of our lives, though we certainly have some influence upon it. But that influence waxes and wanes and flirts and fights and dances with others' influences and the worlds' and on and on and on.

We're not totally in command of our lives, EVER. Like it or not, that's reality. There is a process of finding peace by surrendering to that fact without giving in to rage or despair we humans face-- and yet still find it within ourselves to command what power we have and use it for the betterment of all things we touch. Its a real challenge, and its one most of us FAIL most of the time.

Good times come and go, and so do bad times. Westerners are programmed to expect, nay-- DEMAND!-- neverending bliss, and we bitch when the slightest inconvenience forestalls this. We forget, rather conveniently, that MOST people living on our planet are leading lives of often abject misery. I guess God has different rules for those people???

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." OH YEAH?! I see so much lingering DAMAGE done from the insurmountable challenges people face. What doesn't kill us MORE OFTEN weakens us. Its a miracle to come out of many hardships with more inner power to show for it. Most crumble just a little more every time they face some new darkness in their lives.

Gift from God?? Spare me. |^P

I love New Age teachings and I detest them, too. They open things up to a newer perspective that is free of fear and encourages curiosity, and I love that. Yet too often they lean towards biased placating assurances that keeps folk clamoring for more, and I get impatient with the pablum masquerading as wisdom.

Forgive me if I seem bitter-- some of this really hits a button for me because I've seen behind the performed words too often. And I resent them because they may comfort during times of fortune, but when luck turns and shadows come...? They create useless suffering on an already burdened soul who now must contend with these utterances of excrement. Blame the victim, because in a world where meaning is attached to everything, SOMEONE has to, and you can't blame God or Fate, now, can you?

But the real truth is: SOME things are chance. SOME things don't make sense. SOME things really ARE unfair. And we have to deal with it anyway, like it or not. The universe needs chaos and randomness to keep things moving in forward motion. It also needs order and meaning. What too many New Agers miss is that ennui and catalystic dynamicisms are not mutually exclusive. They are 2 halves of the whole of reality itself. The engine that drives progress and evolution-- dark and light and all the colors in-between!

This period of divinely touched synchronicity is going to end, Mike. Then it may return. That is how it works for me. Back and forth, always. It builds you up, gets you to a new place--and then it leaves you there a while to stew in your newly created juices for a goodly turn before having at you again. That's why I've learned to ride the wave and mostly enjoy the process-- because its temporary!!

Shadows are coming. And we don't get to skip it because we're too holy and enlightened to have to face the fate of the world (whatever it is.)

Oh, and I didn't need a channeled connection to figure all this out, either. I came upon it the hard way. I lived and learned it first hand. That's the point if all of this. To learn from the stories of our lives: romance, comedy, tragedy, AND horror. This is truth. THIS is truth.

May I first say that Anonoymous' comments has clearly expressed himself and seems to have the best grip on this 3D world we are in...a Matrix as we say. He is awake more than any of you on the blog.

This is not intended to be rude, condisending or insulting to any of you. It's just my obersavation of open thinking and wanting to seek & find truth. You are not to be judge for your thinking or beliefs.

I once had very strong beliefs in many things too, for years. All of that has changed for me now...all of it...everything I ever knew, that I knew for decades...and it changed everything but answered many question too. I can't go back to the old beliefs, the old ways of brainwashed or narrow minded thinking.

Did anyone actually read my two post above? What, that didn't raise any eyebrows? Or is it? If we ignore him, maybe he will go away. Just kidding. :)

Anya, you can believe in God or anything you want to for that matter, because you can manifest what you want. You know like the Matrix? So it doesn't mean it's real?

That's ok to feel that way....and same for you Mike as well as anyone else. That's your free will. There is no right or wrong (that's duality). Wisdom knows no right or wrong, time & space, left right, good vs evil, etc. It's all made up to keep us in a trance. Let me see if I can expalin a little better with the follow knowledge.

Ispeak form the heart. I agree that love is important, but it does mean that GOD is love. You prasie the light but we came from darkness and we ARE THE LIGHT. We don't want to be the Light!

Alright see if this helps, as I stated above:

"Wisdom is not thinking about how to manipulate affairs so that events work out in its favour. Wisdom performs none of this. Wisdom just knows that we are being manipulated. To stay connected to wisdom through awareness, we need simply to stay in the moment. This involves doing NOTHING. This involves NO PRAYERS, NO MEDITATION, NO MANTRAS, NO RITUALS, NO JOINING,… NO THING. All practices, be they MEDITATIVE or PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES, are exercises in remaining OUT OF THE ONE ETERNAL MOMENT. This is not to say that meditating is bad or wrong, just as physical activity is not bad or wrong. It will be repeated many times, that there is no such thing as good or bad, or right or wrong. However, these exercises avail no benefit in reconnecting to the wisdom state. Only emotional detachment, which is to place NO REAL WORTH or REAL VALUE in anything 3 dimensional, is true reconnection to reality."

First, the monster in the world named religion. Religion, wielding the twin weapons of guilt and fear, was the first strategy employed to manipulate the world. Did you ever wonder where religion came from? I don’t mean, why do people turn to religion and worship gods? Sure, when things get tough, people feel a need to call on something to save them from their predicament. But where did the very concept and this need for religion originate? Why was there a predicament in the first place? Once this problem was introduced into the scheme of things, why was there a response from the people that they needed to be saved? And of course, once the population responded to the problem, who came up with the notion of worshipping a god?

In Psalm 14:1 we are told that “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”

Now if this is the word of god, and for that matter, if god were really a wise and great creator, I might be a tad shaken by these words. What follows may appear foolish, but to the open minded, it may be a breath of fresh air. You see, this bible quote was written by the luciferian mind, the corrupt entity that rules the planet. There is no god, there is only the luciferian mind of corruption that conjures up the 3D reality we are experiencing. In fact, the bible and every religious book written is inspired by the corrupt entity that governs the illuminati agenda. When I say every religious book, that includes every science text, every new age bestseller, every book on esoteric magic, every astrological/numerological notion … everything!

We will consider the question – Where did religion come from? I’m talking all religion, including atheism. Yes, even atheists are religious zealots. Even though I state there is no god I am not an atheist in as much as I do recognize infinite awareness and wisdom do exist. This awareness and wisdom is NOT SPIRIT, neither does it have any connection to learned knowledge. The worship of a creator, a supreme being who cares if I’m good or bad, and I better obey … I don’t buy it! -IM

No matter what befalls the world, we MUST NOT FALL INTO A REACTIONARY SCENARIO thrust upon us by the illuminati. Don’t believe anything you see or hear from the media. Everyone (including me) is intentionally or unintentionally lying to you. These words are written using a flawed language system that lacks any perfect ability to convey the complete truth.

People may ask, “How do we know you’re not working for the illuminati agenda“? The answer is simple, “I am working on their behalf. Due to the fact I am in a 3 dimensional physical body, using audible sounds and sigil magic alphabet forms to communicate my message, I am by default working and conjuring deceit.

My intention, in spite of that, is to take the sound, shape and colour (as seen in my paintings on this site), and bounce them off each other in an irrational and illogical presentation, in the hope that someone may stop hearing the sounds, stop seeing the shapes and stop identifying with the colours of deceit.

In other words, I don’t want you to hear the still small voice from within telling you what is true and right. I want that still small voice to SHUT UP. You already have wisdom. Wisdom doesn’t talk. Wisdom just knows. For this simple reason, when people channel entities and hear voices, it is always 100% of the time, luciferian inspired, because wisdom doesn’t have sound, shape or colour. There are no good angels, or bad angels, just luciferian light bringing thought forms we might refer to as demons.

Such is the MATRIX web of deceit the illuminati use to manipulate. The MATRIX is the womb, the mother, where the symbols and systems of deceit grow. The mother goddess of deceit has within her the father and the son. Likewise, the son is of the father and the mother. No matter which way we look at it, or try justify our belief system, we are all manipulated by the system. Together the triune godhead of deceit has hypnotized the masses." - IM

I find it facinating that you have a great interest in Owls. If you dare to venture to my blog... :}, there you will see that one of my primary posters is...yes a Watcher Owl. LOL

Since you like these inteligent creatures and so do I, plan on seeing a post about Owls, meanings, symbols and lots of other interesting insights I think you may enjoy. Owls are the bird of praise for the Elite Bloodlines and The Illuminati. I'll leave a post here for you when the post is commpleted. Give me a few days to compile my research.

I'll be honored to do this.

Take care.

P.S. There is truth and knowledge posted on the DarkStar...embrace it if you wish, it's nothing to fear. Peace!

The luciferian agenda is based on intellect, the DUMBING DOWN PROCESS – perpetuated through religion, science and magic.

These three are synonamous and together form the luciferian doctrine of SATANISM, which is the ENLIGHTENMENT, or manifestation of knowledge.

Since there is no such thing as an actual Satan, the THOUGHT PROCESS, conjured up the "LIGHT", or ENLIGHTENMENT, and every DIVISION within the 3D experience. Yet again, more clearly stated, Satanism is DUALITY. Satanism is luciferianism, and is the "LIGHT" BRINGER, and therefore is the concept of the creator God. This fabricated notion of a creator God manipulates the masses into an even deeper hypnotic state.

Today, this deeper hypnotic TRANCE state has surpassed what religion and science had accomplished hypnotically through the centuries, and especially in the last few decades.

The reptilian brain obsessed thinkers have conjured up the notion of marrying science and spirituality. Though the implication is constantly presented that intellectualism is somehow an advancement in wisdom, in reality, it is the process of absolute disconnection from reality and wisdom.

Anonymous, what you said about the synchronicities coming and going..that's exactly what has happened to me. Over a period of a couple of years they built up in complexity and culminated with one that "rung my head like a gong," to quote Mike. I've had more, here and there in clusters--but nothing like The Big One.

I feel much like I've been brought to the station in anticipation of a great trip but the train never comes. I'm waiting and waiting.

I guess maybe the lapses are part of the process, I had begun to wonder if I just wasn't getting something fast enough--and was given up on..

Ankka-- I know exactly how you feel. The 'waiting for the train that never comes' analogy fits the emotion perfectly.

During the "active contact" periods (contact with WHAT may still be up for debate-- but its SOMETHING) one begins to feel, well-- special to be singled out. Reassured to be cared for and communicated with. And expectant that the learning curve won't flatten out.

But then it does... Perhaps to give us a rest. Maybe to keep us grounded and paying attention to the more mundane aspects of our lives so we don't go sweeping off into spiritual never-never land forever. Perhaps to prevent our Egos from running amok and getting too smug. Maybe to help us assimilate the new understandings into our everyday before being hit with anything more. I'm not sure, but I know many people have gone through this process.

And then one day the contact period and crazy synchronicities began once more... The second and third and forth times were each approached by me with more calm, more welcome, less doubt, and more determination to meet it head on and attempt/attract fully conscious reality-blowing experiences. Even the crazy scary stuff I could laugh at sometimes.

Wow!! Fantastic to hear everyone's take on this... uh whatever 'this' is... All of this reminds me of a couple different things.

I think it was somewhere in 'The Edge of Reality' Dr. Hynek made an observation that seemed to lie along some tangent to the discussion, a speculation, what would a society based on emotion be like...?

Really I think what we are talking about seems to unzip along boundaries our culture doesnt inhabit willingly. We try to be logical, that is a difficult enough proposition, and it often seems we need a bit of intuition before we can explore the 'higher' realms of logic.

The other side of the coin, so to speak, emotion, or what I take to be its 'embodiment', poetry, seems like a glimpse into another world from where our culture sits. The Harry Potter films seem like a view into this other world for us I think. Often it seems this other realm can only be imagined by us full of demons; I think real Angels are harder for us to come by. I have never read the books so I cant speak for them.

The muse that inspires us, whatever our creation is, has another life in this other world whatever its life in our world. Its life in our world seems often a humdrum existence I think.

I suspect whatever you do find- well its going to be hard to find the language to enable you to share it at the level you will want to share and without which it will be robbed of its deepest meaning.

I have a wife and son. There was a time in my life, and it wasnt long ago, they were so far off my radar screen I couldnt imagine a family.

They are literally miracles to me, but you would have had to be me to understand how miraculous they are. There is a relativity here that cant be broached. Logically, well logically there is nothing miraculous going on here. The world I used to live in had no room for a wife and son. The world I live in now is very different.

I think something similar is happening to you. The world you used to be part of is disappearing and in its place a kind of poetry beyond your understanding- or mine-is insinuating itself, taking its place. The new world will have its own challenges and inhabitants.

Lucretia is right I think... the shadows are coming...

Come gather 'round peopleWherever you roamAnd admit that the watersAround you have grownAnd accept it that soonYou'll be drenched to the bone.If your time to youIs worth savin'Then you better start swimmin'Or you'll sink like a stoneFor the times they are a-changin'.

Mike,I have to say I don't have much faith in the channeling game(sorry,but that's how I see it).Most channels,if not all are just putting on a mask,so they can distance themselves from their own subconscious thoughts,just like the kid with the imaginary friend.That way when they say something which may be considered offensive or stupid,they can say it wasn't me,it was So-and-So from the planet Y?,or some other excuse.

Not to say that some of these people actually believe they are channeling other entities.I am sure some of them sincerely believe this to be the case.But I feel they are just dredging their subconscious (which can be a true source of wisdom,no doubt about that...but it can also be a pitfall).Follow you own gut feelings,that's what they are there for.

I like to think of myself as a gold/information prospector.I'll dip my pan into a river/info source that looks promising.Pull the pan out,look through the mud,take the nuggets/wisdom and throw the rest out.Sometimes I may think I have gold,and then realize it's just a piece of fool's gold,and sometimes I realize I just threw the gold out,because I didn't look closely enough.But when I follow my gut,I usually end up with a nice little stash.

See yourself as a prospector, don't be to quick to throw out the mud before inspecting the pan for nuggets,but don't fall for the fool's gold,either.You may find a nugget,or two here in this comment,or you might wish to throw the whole lot out...go with your gut.-)

P.S. I put the little matrix type icon on this comment as a tribute to Red Pill Junkie.He seems to be like your Jiminy Cricket on this blog,along for the ride with you,and I'm finding a lot of wisdom in his words,so far.

RE:"RIDE THE WAVE, SURF IT LIKE THE SKIER YOU ARE ... BE BRILLIANT ON THE ICE CRYSTAL OF THE NEW FREQUENCIES YOU NOW DANCE WITH ... AND ALLOW THE LOVE TO POUR FORTH! Good job my friend ... You are doing GREAT."

I agree,and I've always liked the analogy of "Surfing the Dao" (the book's not that great though,apart from the cover,but still worth a read,I guess).That's why I have a keyring like the one in the icon,at the top corner of this comment...even though I have never physically surfed,I just like thought of surfing life's wave,and getting the best ride,before it can dump me.-)

first-person blogs from CONTACTEES

There is something happening, there are a LOT of people who claim the abduction phenomenon, or UFO contact, who are sharing their first person experiences on-line.

Mac Tonnies talks about my blog:

...a fascinating new blog delving into his experiences with strangeness and synchronicity. Mike's humility and painterly attention to detail are decided assets in a world where the very term "paranormal" has become associated with excessive credulity.

tiny clues

Events can be hard to recall. Especially when these memories seem to stretch my psyche in ways that can be distressing. If these memories and events are just tiny clues, what do they point to?

I feel strongly that something is going on. But what that might be, seems beyond my ability to solve.

blogging and the self

It's impossible to create a linear narrative on a blog. These postings should come in a nice tidy and logical order, but they don't. If this stuff seems interesting, you might need to dig around a little bit. The puzzle pieces are all mixed up - even to me.

Christopher Knowles sez, "Keep a dream log and sync log, starting today. Keep track of your dreams and the synchronicities you observe or experience. And then see if by the end of the year the two logs haven't become one." Click on his image to visit his Jung influenced insights into pop culture.
